Lyrics
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah
...
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Once I had a love and it was gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
(da da da...)
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
Seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah
...
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh, oh oh
Once I had a love and it was gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
(da da da...)

Song Status
Blondie singer Harry and guitarist Stein, her boyfriend, wrote the song in their dingy New York apartment; keyboardist Jimmy Destri provided the synthesizer hook. The result brought punk and disco together on the dance floor. "Chris always wanted to do disco," Destri said. Not all of their rock fans agreed. "We used to do 'Heart of Glass' to upset people," he added.
